Truth Be Told

By: Truth

Summary: Lily Evans has just started Hogwarts. She has already made friends with a model and the marauders in the first few days. Although, she's still not figured out if they like her back. She's ready to prove to her parents, teachers, her friends and to herself, that she can make it as a muggle-born witch. WARNING: Marauders, models/tomboys and weird crazy parents. Seines of violence, hard language and nudity in chapters. OK, I just had to put 'nudity' in there because that's what they put warning things before movies instead of 'sex'. So there will be sex in later chapters I think. Don't worry, I'll warn you beforehand.

Some markers before I start: 1) ~*~ -means the time goes into Lily's and the other's 7th year. 2) ~ means a different time/place/person's view I might add something later if I need to, just try to check up on it.

And remember, this is only the first chapter, I'm almost finished school so I can update lots probably if I'm not too busy! This first part is kind of feeble but I had fun writing it. Yay! School's almost over! Whoo!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything out of the Harry Potter books. That belongs to J.K. Rowling. I only own Sara, Cecilia and Pauline.

Anyway, on with the story. ONWARD!

~*~CHAPTER ONE (1)- The Beginning ~*~

Lily just got sorted and sat down by herself at the Gryffindor house table. A little while later, a girl with long brown hair down to her shoulders got sorted into Gryffindor.

Lily had a weird feeling, like she saw that girl before, other than on the train and in the boats over to Hogwarts.

The girl came over to her and asked if she could sit next to her. Lily nodded and smiled at the girl.

"Thanks." The girl said and took a seat next to Lily's right. The girl started looking around the hall.

"Ex-excuse me. But I think I've seen you before. Are you a muggleborn?" Lily asked. The girl looked at her. "No, no I'm not." She said eyeing Lily. "I'm Sara Whitmore. I'm a model, you've might have seen me in a magazine somewhere." Lily nodded.

"Ah, now I remember!" Lily said. Sara smiled. "And you are?" She asked. "Lily Evans." Lily said. "Pleasure to meet you Lily." Sara said sticking out her hand for Lily to shake. Lily did so and smiled. 'Looks like I have a new friend already!' Lily thought.

Lily looked curiously around the Great Hall.

"You're a muggleborn?" Sara asked. "Because you asked if I was one so that must mean.." "Yeah. I am." Lily said looking back at Sara.

Sara nodded. "Have any older siblings? That are wizards or witches by any chance?" Sara asked. "I have an older sister, but she's not a wizard." Lily said.

"Ah. I see." Sara said. "I have an older sister also. But she's a witch. She's down the table there." Sara pointed down the table.

Lily looked but there were a few too many girls to pick out Sara's sister.

"How old is she?" Lily asked. "16." Sara said.

Lily and Sara looked up at Dumbledore as he stood up. "The sorting's over already?" Lily whispered to Sara. "What do you mean already? That took ages." Sara whispered back.

"Welcome all new and old students. Hope your summer went well. As all you older students know, the Forbidden Forest is exactly that, forbidden. And there had been a new tree planted on the grounds and I warn you not to go near it, for it will probably tear you limb from limb. Well, that is all I have to say for now. Enjoy the feast!" Dumbledore said and clapped his hands together delightfully and the food appeared on the table.

After talking with several different people and eating several different foods, Lily and Sara started walking back to the Gryffindor tower with their Prefect. "Follow me please." She said as she started to lead the first years.

After a few minutes of walking, they came to a portrait of a fat lady in a frilly pink dress. "Password?" She asked. "Pixie sticks." The Prefect said and the fat lady swung her portrait open. Lily looked back in amazement as they entered the portrait hole.

She glanced as Sara who was now looking around the room they entered.

"This is the Gryffindor common room. You can study, talk, or just play with your friends here, but I suggest you don't do any....fooling around in here unless you want to get points taken off." The Prefect said narrowing her eyes.

"Now, the girls dormitories is up the stairs to your right, boys same on your left. Any questions?" Nobody said anything. "Good, now you can ask me or any of the teachers in case you need any help with anything. I suggest you go to bed soon because there are classes tomorrow." The Prefect then left them to their selves.

Lily and Sara looked around the common room.

"Do you want to go look at our dormitory?" Lily asked Sara after they stopped looking around. Sara nodded. "All right."

The two girls walked up to their dormitory. They saw a door that had a little sign on it that said 'First Year Girls'. "Ah, here it is." Lily said opening the door.

Three girls were in there already. One had braided long copper hair, freckles, a pudgy face and brown eyes, the other girl had short black hair with a buck teeth and green eyes, and the last one had long brown hair with blonde streaks in it and golden eyes. They all looked at Lily and Sara as they entered. The girl with the golden eyes smiled and opened her mouth to say something but the girl with freckles beat her to it. "Oh look, it's Sara Whitmore. Shouldn't you be out somewhere getting pampered and with some boy?" She said. Sara looked at her with a weird glint in her eye. "I am aware of what the magazine said about my last week. But no, it's not true." She said. "What's not true?" Lily asked confused. "Look." The girl with golden eyes said handing Lily a magazine. Lily looked down at it and read the column.

SARA WHITMORE, (11) IS GROWING UP TOO FAST. SHE IS SAID TO BE SEEN KISSING BOB PETERS (17) AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR PARTY THE WHITMORE'S HAD AUGUST, 29TH. BUT THAT'S NOT ALL SHE DID. SHE THEN TOOK HIM UP STAIRS FOR QUITE A FEW HOURS. 'THEY CAME BACK, THEIR CLOTHES ALL RUFFLED AND THEIR HAIR ALL MESSED UP.' SAYS A SOURCE. SARA DISAGREES AS TO WHAT HAPPENS. 'I WASN'T EVEN AT THE PARTY. I WAS OVER AT THE BEACH SWIMMING. IT WAS A HOT DAY AND I WAS TIRED.' IT WAS INDEED A HOT DAY THAT DAY, BUT NO ONE SAYS THEY HAD SAW SARA SWIMMING THAT DAY. SARA'S MOTHER SCOWLED AT US AND TOLD US 'GO STUFF YOURSELVES'.

There was a picture of Sara at the bottom of the page as Lily finished reading the small article. Lily handed the magazine back to the girl and looked at Sara.

"How could you even believe those magazines? They're a bunch of rubbish." Sara said scowling at the girl with the freckles.

"Why would they lie?" The girl asked. "To get you to read them." Sara said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. "Uh-ah." The girl with freckles said wagging her finger at them. "They would get sued if they weren't true." "Obviously not, because they haven't been sued." The girl with golden eyes said.

The girl with freckles glared at them. "You guys are stupid. I'm out of here." She said grabbing the girl with buck teeth's arm and pulling her out of the room.

"That was Cecilia and Pauline, don't mind Cecilia, she's just jealous." The girl with golden blonde hair said. Lily and Sara smiled at the girl. "As you know, I'm Sara Whitmore." Sara said. "I'm Lily Evans." Lily said. "I'm Arabella Figg." The girl said. They all grinned at each other.

The next day, Arabella, Lily and Sara rushed down to their first classes, Charms. They were going to be late. "Where the hell is the classroom?" Sara said as they ran down the corridors looking for the charms classroom. "Oh my god, stop!" Lily yelled as the floor was.icy? Arabella, Lily and Sara stopped running but they kept moving, and very fast too. Arabella and Sara crashed into each other but Lily just laughed and pointed at them. "Ow!" Arabella and Sara said rubbing their heads as they kept sliding on the ice- type floor. Lily moved her feet in such a way as if she were ice-skating. "What are you doing?" Arabella asked Lily. "Ice-skating." Lily replied.

"That's.what, exactly?" Sara asked. "Just that, Ice. Skating. You have these shoes with a sharp metal type things on the bottom of them and you go on ice in the winter time and skate around on it.

"Why would you do that?" Arabella asked. "It's fun." Lily said. They stopped sliding right beside a door. "Maybe this is the charms classroom." Lily said. Arabella and Sara stood up and they all peaked in the door.

A small man was standing on a pile of books behind a desk. "Miss. Evans, Figg and Whitmore, welcome! I was hoping you'd be arriving soon." He said gesturing them to come in. Arabella, Lily and Sara came in and took the only seats left at a table at the back, blushing slightly.

"Hello." A boy said sitting at a table next to them. "I'm James Potter." He had short, messy black hair, blue eyes and glasses. "Hi, I'm Lily Evans." Lily said blushing a little more, though nobody really noticed. Three other boys were sitting beside James. They all introduced themselves to each other.

"Did the floor outside the classroom seem perhaps.slippery, to you?" Sirius asked. Arabella, Lily and Sara looked at each other. "Yes." They said. The four boys grinned. "That was you?" Lily asked. The four boys nodded.

"My dad had a book on charms that I-er-borrowed from him and that spell to put ice on the floor was in there so I just put it on the floor outside the charms classroom." James said grinning.

"Well, you did a nice job on it."

The class went by fast as they were only taking notes and the three girls and the four boys talked lots.

All seven of them walked out of the class room last. "We have.Transfiguration next." Lily said looking at her chart. "It's that way this time." She pointed back across the ice. "Crap." Arabella said. "Come on, it's easy." Peter said and ran and started sliding across the ice. "See?" He said looking back. Lily did the same thing.

"Dumb ice. Hate it, hate it all." Sara said scowling down at the ice. "Fell down last time did you?" Remus said grinning. Sara looked back at him. "No, of course not." She lied. Remus shook his head, obviously not believing her. "Come on, follow me." He said grabbing her hand and started pulling her across the ice.

"Hey!" Arabella said. "Come on, I'll help you." James said grabbing her hand and helping her across the ice like Remus did.

~*~

"I hate ice." Sara said looking down at her hands and scowling. Remus laughed. "You have to admit, I was a pretty good skater!" He said. The rest all rolled their eyes.

~*~

They skated across the ice, dodging some people that had fallen down. Once they got across (Arabella having fallen down and almost pulling James down too), they started walking to Transfiguration.

"All right class. You'll each be turning a quill into a banana." McGonagall said once everyone settled down and they took 20 minutes taking notes.

"How easy." Sirius said putting his feet up on the table and sitting back in his chair with his arms behind his head.

"Once you finish this, you may leave back to your common room. I expect you all probably won't finish this today." McGonagall said ignoring Sirius and handed out quills to everyone. "Point your wand at your quill and say Pacile. Its pronounced 'pa-sigh-L'. Do try and pronounce it right. And concentrate!" McGonagall said pointedly at Sirius.

"May we eat the banana?" Peter asked. A few people laughed. "Let me look at it before you eat it." McGonagall said.

Everybody looked down at their pencil. Sirius looked quit bored. "Pacile." He said except it came out 'pa-sil'. His quill bent in the middle and turned green. Sirius frowned.

"Pacile." Sara said pointing her wand at her own quill. It turned into a banana like it was suppose to. Sara put up her hand. "I finished Professor McGonagall." She said.

McGonagall came over and checked her banana over. "Very good Miss Whitmore. 5 points to Gryffindor for being the first to complete your task. You may eat it if you'd like." She said. "And you may go back to your common room."

Sara peeled her banana and got up and started making her way to the door. "You're right Sirius. Very easy." She said as she passed Sirius. Sirius scowled at her and stared hard down at his green, bent quill.

"Professor McGonagall, I finished too!" Remus said putting up his hand. McGonagall walked over to him. "Very good Mr. Lupin. You may eat yours and leave as well."

Remus grinned, peeled his banana and rushed up to Sara. "Me too!" Lily and James said putting up their hands.

Sara, Remus, Lily and James left the classroom together all eating their bananas.

Sirius came out with Peter after the class ended. Sirius grumbling and Peter eating his banana.

"What took you so long? I thought you said it was easy." James asked. Sirius looked darkly at him. "McGonagall must have jinxed my banana just because I said that." He said.

Arabella noticing Sirius hadn't eaten his banana said "Are you going to eat that?" Sirius looked at his banana. "Huh? Oh right. I guess I deserve this since-" He started to say and held the banana up. "Great." Arabella said and grabbed it away from him. She peeled it and took a bite out of it.

"Hey! I was going to eat that!" Sirius said grabbing it back. Arabella looked up at him, her mouth open and mashed banana was in it. Not a pretty sight.

~*~ "Oh that was funny!" James said and they all laughed except Sirius. "No it wasn't." Sirius mumbled. "You're right.it was hilarious!" Lily said and they all laughed even harder. Sirius sniffed haughtily. "You're a bunch of wankers. The lot of you." He said rolling his eyes. ~*~
